Yes, "sharing" is the current buzzword. TIME Magazine had a cover article on it last week, and Consumer Reports also had an article on sharing cars, spare bedrooms, even meals. There's actually a Uber-type app where you can post what you're having for dinner and charge people to join you!!
What's next? Share your kids? Share your bed? The lack of tax being charged on this stuff will drive our state and local government crazy. And do you think people are reporting this sharing income to the IRS? Ha!
No, you cannot drive my Tesla. (It hasn't even been born yet, but still...).
A fair amount of it could be backlash against companies/government that sent/allowed to be sent jobs overseas.
Fine. Take my job, but I still have to eat. Let me see what I can do with the skills I have.
Or people who can't stand being 'tied down' to a 9-5 job.
I see the point of the article in that the owners of the 'economy' are the only ones getting rich. Which will lead, as it did in the early 20th century to the formation of unions and collective bargaining and we're back where we started.
